Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Deliberately Causing a Car Accident to Claim Compensation (7)_1

Xia Zheng personally picked up a toothpick and inserted a piece of the newly made donkey rolling dessert, placing it on Princess Anle’s plate. Knowing they had just finished breakfast, Lin Yuan had brought them small-sized pastries perfect for tasting, each conveniently bite-sized.

Su Qiuyu snorted coldly to herself, thinking Lin Yuan was stingy. The pastries she had seen in the hall were many times larger than these tiny ones, yet they brought these minuscule treats for them!

Mumbling to herself, she still accepted the pastries Xia He passed to her with a smile. Since the pastries were so small, even she finished them in one bite.

And it was a bite that mattered, for they were incredibly delicious!

Su Qiuyu’s eyes nearly popped out. She had already marveled at Lin Yuan’s culinary skills during yesterday’s meal, and today she was even more impressed. Despite their small size, the pastries had everything they needed. Take this wife cake, for example—the crust was crumbly and layered, and the filling inside was fragrantly sweet and smooth. It was truly tasty.

Princess Anle also couldn’t help but praise, "This is called donkey rolling? Mmm, not bad, soft and chewy, quite delicious."

Lao Fan, who was picking his teeth, chuckled, "Girl, what do you think? I told you Lin Yuan is good, didn’t I? You’ve really scored this time!"

Princess Anle pursed her lips into a smile, said nothing, but her expression clearly showed she agreed.

Su Qiuyu’s hand holding the toothpick trembled, her expression becoming unfathomable.

Lin Yuan’s cheeks turned red, and just as she caught Xia Zheng looking at her with animated eyebrows, her neck also began to blush.

Not knowing how to excuse herself, suddenly Liuzi came in with a giggle, "Boss, someone familiar has come outside and says they want to have a word with you."

A familiar person? Who?

Lin Yuan was puzzled until she saw Liuzi give her a wink, clearly signaling something was up.

Xia Zheng also noticed and, after saying a word to Princess Anle, stood up to follow them out.

Xia He thought for a moment and also quietly followed out. Once outside, she informed Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng about the incident with Meng Chunyan intentionally bumping their carriage on the way over.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zheng’s eyes narrowed. They dared to bump even his mother’s carriage—had the Meng family grown so bold!

Seeing Xia Zheng’s expression, Lin Yuan knew he was angry and it was dangerous. After sending Xia He back, she took Xia Zheng’s hand and whispered, "That Meng Chunyan is just brainless. She must have been jealous that Madam’s carriage is better than hers and did it out of spite. You’ve forgotten how she tried to race with my carriage last time. Fortunately, Madam is all right. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she learns her lesson."

Xia Zheng’s lips curled slightly, "If she learns her lesson, that’s good. If not, then it’s time for the entire Meng family to learn a lesson."

Lin Yuan was stunned. It seemed he was set on holding a grudge against the Meng family. What a pity for the Meng Family Wine House.

However, thinking about it, Lin Yuan suddenly had an idea. Liu Limin had mentioned wanting to start a wine house, so when the time came, she would see how the Meng Family Wine House was doing. If possible, hmph.

The matter with the Meng Family Wine House was not something that could be resolved quickly, so Lin Yuan put it out of her mind and looked toward Liuzi.

Once they were alone, Liuzi spoke up seriously, "Boss, didn’t you say we need to keep a constant watch on the guests’ movements these days? Just now in the hall, the guards noticed a young fellow looking a bit unnatural and kept a close eye on him, only to see him putting this thing into the donkey rolling dessert."

As he spoke, he took out a small paper packet from his sleeve, opened it, and inside was some white powder.

"What is this?" Although she had already guessed, Lin Yuan had never seen it before and dared not jump to conclusions.

Xia Zheng glanced at it, his brows furrowed deeply, and he said in a deep voice, "Five Stones Powder."

It was indeed Five Stones Powder!

Lin Yuan’s eyes darkened, "Where’s the person?"

"Captured by the guards, now in the warehouse."

"What about the drugged pastries?" The skin of the donkey rolling cake was coated with a layer of soy flour, which was somewhat similar in color to the Five Stones Powder. If the guard hadn’t been vigilant in advance, and he had succeeded, they really wouldn’t be able to find out.

"We found out in time, he was caught before he could act. Madam, rest assured, we caught him secretly, without alarming the customers."

Lin Yuan nodded and thought about the recent events as she walked towards the warehouse.

In fact, the man they caught today was not the first time.

The first time it was discovered, she just had Loudmouth destroy the cakes. The second time someone tried to drug them, she had the druggers chased away. She thought the two warnings would deter them, or at least make them back off. But instead of backing down, they escalated their efforts. Did they think her Rice Flower Fragrance was scared of them?

She originally thought as long as they didn’t go too far, she wouldn’t rip off the façade, making it hard for everyone. After all, she knew better than anyone how hard it was to run a shop.

But one can only put up with so much; she couldn’t allow a third and fourth time. This time, they couldn’t blame her, Lin Yuan, for being too ruthless.

The three of them arrived at the warehouse door and heard a stubborn voice inside, refusing to admit to anything.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then went back to the kitchen and casually pinched a small ball of pastry filling, before dipping it into a small bowl of an unknown seasoning. With a squeeze of her hand, it turned into a small, dark pill.

"Heh, it looks like you have a plan," Xia Zheng said, taking the small pill from her hand and smelling it. The sweet fragrance was gone, replaced instead with a strange scent—it did have a certain appeal.

Lin Yuan curled her lips into a smile, remaining silent.

Liuzi was completely baffled on the side. What were they talking about? Why did Madam not go in when they reached the door and instead head to the kitchen?

In the warehouse, when Lin Yuan and her companions appeared again, the young man with his hands tied behind his back was still stubbornly denying everything.

The guards, with darkened faces, couldn’t be bothered to deal with him, letting him squat there and ramble on, not sparing him another glance, as if looking at him any longer would sully their eyes.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan, the guards called out to Boss and then stood by the door, waiting.

Lin Yuan looked down, gazing imperiously at the man squatting on the ground, who was actually just over twenty years old, his eyes constantly rolling, clearly a man of many schemes.

The man recognized Lin Yuan, and hearing the guards call her Boss didn’t show any surprise, but as she sized him up, he stuck out his neck and sneered, "Little girl, looking at gramps like that, do you think gramps is handsome, huh—" He was cut off mid-sentence with a cry.
